Plato/philosophy

Famous quotes containing the words plato and/or philosophy:

    Man is the measure of all things; of that which is, that it is; of that which is not, that it is not.
    —Protagoras or Plato (c. 490–421 B.C.)

    The element of fire is quite put out;
    The Sun is lost, and th’earth, and no mans wit
    Can well direct him where to look for it.
